No not the movie. Billy Sandifer got these Jacks on the fly fishing Monday on the Padre Island National Seashore.
As he would say "What a hoot!"

Billy called last night or night before and told me to pack up our stuff and meet him at 0630 the next morning! If we were already packed and the engine warmed up we couldn't make it there in 10 hours. He was pumped! Tyler - could you show Billy how to reduce pic sizes? He said he has sent several to me, but I never get them. Our podunk, cheap-a$$, 2 cans and a string, backwoods, good-for-nothing ISP wanna-be blocks everything over 800 Kb. We will get down there, but it will never be soon enough.
